The Stonekings’ Christmas Card…2013 Ediiton

Uncategorized

December 11, 2013

I love sharing Christmas cards…not only because it’s fun to send happy mail to friends and family, but it’s crazy to see how much our lives have changed this past year. For 2012, it was just three of us, with one on the way and I hadn’t announced our pregnancy yet, and this year Miss Carson is here in the picture with us…life comes full circle and lets you know just how blessed you truly are. Without further adieu, here is our 2013 family Christmas card:

I went with another festive and fun Minted design…hands down, their service and selection are hard to beat. Coupled with the fact I had a 20% coupon plus another $20 off and even I was impressed about how much money I saved! Jeff loved the traditional design (yes, he gets a vote) so it was a winner in both our books. I always try to incorporate the years on the designs we pick out, just so I can look through them one day in the future and I will know what year it was. AND, since we were in the process of moving, I had Katy’s Hallmark design custom change of address stickers to attach to the back of the envelopes that coordinated with our card design…here is how they turned out:

And because this stationery guru decided that I needed one more element of color, I found the cutest wrapping tape in the holiday section at Target to wrap around each card. Here they are, all ready to be mailed…
As always, my friend and photog Candice shot our images…you can check out her site and on her Facebook page as well. Hope you all enjoyed a little sneak peak at our cards!!
